- in case of a bigger upgrade - a rollback possibility or
- a backup/redundant system you can bring up

in case you mess something up / can't do the upgrade / are facing any other software or hardware issue which stops your service to run.

The most important point, is informing your users about what's going on, if the service isn't running anymore. Dropping a simple line like "Hey we are working on it, we know where the problem is (even if it isn't the case)" should always be possible (takes 2 minutes, which you always have while rebooting a server).

I would accept that kind of behaviour in a free2play game, but not in a paid service. It's just an unacceptable behaviour of the DEVs.

Maybe, gismo`s C64 is not good enough as Server and He is looking in eBay for a Amiga 🤣😁😂 .
Ich think that , when gismo dont react fast, that much Players will leave. Till now , we the com have more done with our creations than gismo and He should Take Care on us. But when No supporter is reachable thats Show , that WE are only payers, and 3 DX will die at least . That Game has so much potential IT could be so amazing for builders, dj`s and those WHO only want to have Sex . When gismo dont want to Go on, Invest in stabil Servers , He should sell 3 DX , much people , would bei proud, to get it and to make IT greater than any other.

Really it's worse and worse on this game, already two days that we are cut off game, without any information from the developers.I start saturated with having to pay for a game that receives very few updates.And what's more, the developers have no respect for the people who feed them.

Most users have quit the game, some try to tell themselves that everything will be okay as they are curled up in the corner of their room, hoping Gizmo will answer their prayers.

Some of the extreme users have taken to their own and decided to find Gizmo in real life, in hopes to restore the server, let their journey have positive results.

One has resulted to cannibalism for no real reason wait that's just me some say for banter, others say because of madness.

Let this be the last day of madness, although madness is fun, so maybe just keep it going for a bit longer.

Year 2018
Since 3dxchat has closed, people have begun to leave the house, to cover the sun. Many of the users of 3dx tried to search for Gizmo even under the Earth's crust, and they found fossils of Extraterrestrials upstream at the time of BigBang. Some Alien Manuscripts testify to the existence of 3dxchat even before it was born.
Stay tuned.

Year 2025
Many of 3dxchat users, after 7 years, are trying to play the game, but they have not yet succeeded.

Year 2050
The children of Harry Potter came from Hogwarts to create a 3dxchat prototype, failing miserably.

Year 2051
People went crazy. after about 53 years, 3dx players have passed on their children the knowledge of that game. Lost videos, photos, memories and loves

Year 2055
The men of the earth land on Venus and find traces of human feet. Stay tuned.

Year 2055 10 days later
We had the first alien contact.
A "man" of medium height, perfect body and very large penis proportions. He asked us "Who are you?" we answered "We come from the earth, we come in peace, who are you?" and the alien answers "I AM GIZMO!"
Everyone on earth is crying for Gizmo's meeting place! Long last!

Year 2060
The alien Gizmo returns to earth, a big party welcomes him! We are all happy except one person ....
An attack on Gizmo was made, do not worry, it's safe, but the bomber was banned from the ground, they sent him to the moon ... (we later learned that the bomber was playing on 3dx)

Year 2060 (6 months later ...)
Gizmo has finally completed work on 3dxchat! Within 6 months, the server reopens!

Year 2061 ...
January 1, 2061 ... Gizmo at 6 pm will reopen the game.

January 1, 2061 h 5.45 pm ... an asteroid hits the earth.

January 1, 2061 h 5.55 pm humans are melting attached to their PCs for the reopening of 3dx. We advise you to use a cold room or to run to the North Pole.

January 1, 2061 h 5.59 ... the whole population of the earth has melted ... we stayed in 2 ... me and my computer.
